Dear Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past six years, ProMedica’s Barbershop Initiative has experienced remarkable achievements as a direct result of the barbershops who have worked with us, including: \u00a0Steve\u2019s Sport N Cuts, Groomed by Gaston, Fletcher\u2019s Hair Designs, Foster\u2019s Hair Concepts Unlimited, Groomed, TalMon, Victory, Tailored and Groomed, and DaShop.<\/p>\n

Initially launched in 2017 by ProMedica as a health screening initiative, the program quickly evolved to encompass a broader directive through the relationships that ensued. The barbers have consistently told us what they and the community need, and together we have worked to meet the needs.<\/p>\n

Through collaborations and relationship building, the barbers worked with talented community members and told their story, Sons of Toledo<\/strong> (https:\/\/vimeo.com\/657123403<\/em><\/a> ). \u00a0ProMedica produced Brussel Sprouts<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kKHMS_ZP4zo<\/a>) a story about the many ways that change can take place.<\/p>\n

The barbers, who meet with kids at pivotal moments throughout their lives, continue to nurture good self-image by participating in back-to-school programs, which include a free haircut the week before school begins.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve hosted health screenings, received blood pressure cuffs, and increase health literacy through discussions on the importance of prostate cancer screenings, stroke awareness, nutrition and why we all need a primary care doctor. They are CPR certified, and AED trained. They\u2019ve also been seen onstage at the Toledo Museum of Art wielding their many talents in ART of the CUT. In 2022, more than 26 barbers completed Mental Health First Aid training.<\/p>\n

Every dollar raised from Brews & Bros is reinvested directly into the communities where the barbershops are located. \u00a0The support you give to the Barbershop Initiative ensures the work to continue.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re an old friend or a new fan, we invite you to join us on July 27 as a sponsor or guest at The Hollywood Casino Barstool Sportsbook from 5:30 \u2013 7:30. During that time, we\u2019ll share some food, meet barbers in the program and network with other people who desire to participate in the change that we all hope for.\u00a0 Your interest and participation allow us to further fund the Barbershop Initiative.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your interest in the Brews and Bros: Men’s Health & Wellness at the Barbershop event, hosted by ProMedica. We extend a warm welcome to both newcomers and long-time contributors.<\/p>\n

All folks over 21 are invited!\u00a0 We hope to see you there and again \u2013 many thanks for your support over the last six years!<\/p>\n
